List of ID10T with Chris Hardwick episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This list topic is not notable. The notability of this list has been discussed previously here and here. It appears that the episode list was removed and readded to the original article and then eventually split into this stand-alone list as a compromise of sorts. So I don't think this deletion discussion is unwarranted, but it is one of the first list articles that I've nominated for deletion so if I've missed something obvious let me know and I would be willing to retract the nomination. WP:NLIST states that a list topic is notable "if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" and I'm not seeing how this list meets this requirement. Doing a few Google searches reveals that it is not uncommon for sources to recommend and review groupings of episodes from a particular podcast. For instance, Stuff You Should Know, WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, My Favorite Murder, and Criminal. Also, Podcast Review—a channel of LA Review of Books—which is one of the only relatively reliable sources that exclusively covers podcasts has done quite a few groupings of episodes. It's also not uncommon for sources to review individual episodes of podcasts. However, I don't see any sources like these for this podcast. Sure, some of the sources mention that the podcast has episodes, but it's very much in passing. I don't see full reviews of individual episodes or reviews of multiple episodes grouped together. I just don't see how any of the sources discuss episodes of the podcast as a group or set. At best there are mentions of how many episodes the show has done. Perhaps I am interpreting the guideline to strictly? Does discussion of the podcast count as discussion of its episodes simply because the podcast consists of episodes? I'm pretty sure this list is also a violation of WP:NOTREPOSITORY and in one of the previous discussions someone suggested it violated WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

Because the list is so long there was an ongoing split discussion, but I felt that the notability of the list should be discussed before splitting the list into more articles to avoid unnecessary cleanup if the list was not deemed notable. I asked at the help desk and mentioned in the split discussion that I intended to pursue an AfD and no one actively opposed my suggestion or provided any reasoning as to why the list is notable. I also followed WP:BEFORE as best I could, but again, this is one of the first list articles I've ever nominated for deletion so let me know if I've made any big mistakes in nominating this particular list.

 * Delete. I agree with the nominators points on how it is unnotable. `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 04:57, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to ID10T with Chris Hardwick. And if this is removed, should also remove the "Episodes" section from that page as it only exists to link to this list and contain a single unsourced statement. QuietHere (talk) 11:20, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to ID10T with Chris Hardwick as page creator. I have no personal interest in this material; I excised it several years ago from the main article, creating this list. I had hoped RS might one day be found. I also agree that without addition of RS, the episodes section can be removed. It's enough that all this material is available via page history over there.
